It's easy to get that feeling, but it doesn't necessarily mean the story is worse (or that it's better). For this reason, I keep all my work under revision control (I prefer git, but there are others). That way, I can actually compare any revision that has ever existed to any other (to see if it's really worse or if I'm just tired of it), I can roll back to a previous revision (if a set of changes was actually a bad idea), and most of all see what is going on with my changes (to keep from going through cycle after cycle of editing over just a few phrases, which either means other parts of the work are being ignored, or I'm "done" and just didn't feel it).
